Sô Lora Sô Burra
Cansei de Ser Sexy Lyrics

The lyrics to Cansei de Ser Sexy's song Sô Lora Sô Burra are both amusing and provocative as they reveal the persona of a woman who is not only blonde but seems to be rather naive, recklessly sexual and uneducated. The consistent repetition of the proclamation "ELA É LORA, ELA É BURRA!" emphasizes this persona, as if to say that being blonde means being thick or foolish in some way. The first verse starts with the declaration that the singer is both "lora" and "burra," indicating that she is a typical dumb blonde stereotype. She then confesses to enjoying orgies by saying "Sempre gostei de uma curra" (I always liked a good orgy). In the second verse, she claims to have gone to a Catholic school and to have "given it" to the whole street, indicating her lack of discretion and promiscuity. She also makes a poetic leap to her own death, saying that her fate will ultimately be at the marketplace. In the third verse, she reveals her marital status to a wealthy and unattractive man, whom she calls her hero nonetheless. The last line, "Que eu tenho hora no salão, né" (I have an appointment at the salon, don't I), is a humorous interjection, as if to say that despite her apparent shortcomings, she still has to maintain her appearance.
